A link from 'Classic Home' /analytics back to /dv/ui

Bec_Wagner

Description

When OAC first came out, it was nice to have the ability to navigate from /dv/ui to 'Classic Home' /analytics and from /analytics back to /dv/ui. But the link from /analytics to /dv/ui was removed almost immediately due to licensing concerns. Now that OAS (and DV) is released to all OBIEE customers, can the link from /analytics to /dv/ui be restored? This would be great in OAC and OAS.

Thank you!

Use Case and Business Need

Users should be able to easily navigate between /analytics and /dv/ui home pages.

More details

There is a link from /dv/ui to 'Classic Home' /analytics home page. Please restore the link from /analytics to /dv/ui home page.

The option was there in earlier releases. Users should have the capability to switch between classic and DV OAS pages.

would make the experience more consistent

and a link from ERP cloud to OAC as well

Ability to go from the classic interface back quickly to the normal interface.

It is very annoying to change the URL manually every time when we need to switch from classic to DV. Please provide the option in classic to go back to DV.

Also, there should really not be two different versions of Home Screen (Classic and DV).

Taking away the link between Classic and DV makes it feel like two isolated applications, not a unified/modern SaaS experience. It's a simple thing but it impacts user perception a lot.

Makes transition between Classic and DV seamless.

This is a silly omission. Should take someone minutes to code. Just do it. The new DV home has some nice capabilities, but I don't expect it's ever going to do what we need for classic dashboard/answers administration, so please just give us a way to get back to DV home from classic home instead of trying to remember which tab it's in.

Nice to have.

An old thread, but in the interim for future readers/searchers, if it helps anyone, a workaround is to add a Custom Link to the Global Header in Classic Home, via the Console > System Settings.

For example,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<customLinks xmlns="com.siebel.analytics.web/customlinks/v1">
<link id="1" name="Self Service" description="Open DV in new window" src="http://hostname.domainname/ui/dv/ui/home.jsp" target="_top">
  <locations>
  <location name="header" insertBefore="catalog" />
  </locations>
</link>
</customLinks>

You have to look at the OA Server documentation for coding examples.
